[GRASS5] [bug #1460] (grass) critical import and display by r.in.arc within cignus OS

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=1460
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: critical import and display by r.in.arc within cignus OS

Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.0.0 pre3 jan 2002

We have grass5 under windows 2000 with cignus emulator.

With this input file:

< ncols # >
< nrows # >
< xllcorner 0 >
< yllcorner 0 >
< cellsize 1 >
< nodata_value -9999 >
< .................... >
< .................... >
< .................... >
< .................... >

we launch command:
GRASS> r.in.arc
with default parameters.

Sometimes, not always, alternatively for certain numbers of rows and columns
we obtain a raster and we can also display.
Some other times , with unknown logic, at displaying we have following system error:

WARNING: Fail of initial read of compressed file [layer100 in set1]
WARNING: unable to open raster map [layer100 in set1]
ERROR: Not able to open cellfile for [layer100]

May you help us, please?
Thanks very much.
Regards

This occurs when the row index can't be read (first message is from
src/libes/gis/format.c). Are you sure r.in.arc successfully imported
these rasters (r.in.arc did not report errors)?
